Description

Knights Eddy to Matamoras

Experience the best trip on the Upper Delaware! This 6-mile river adventure features the most exciting whitewater on the river. Kids and adults of all ages are sure to enjoy the thrilling splashes—no prior experience with rafts is necessary.  

As you navigate the river, take in the breathtaking scenery as it winds through the famous Hawk’s Nest. This trip lasts 3 to 4 hours, making it the perfect outing to relax and have fun without requiring too much paddling. So gather your gear, and let’s make some unforgettable memories!

Tips for the trip:

Get ready for an adventure at the Mongaup Rapids! These rapids, created by the extra flow of the Mongaup River merging into the Delaware River, give you a thrilling roller coaster experience that’s simply the best on the Delaware. As you approach the Hawk’s Nest region, make sure to stay to the far left to catch some amazing standing waves at Butler’s. This short stretch of rapids is guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping! Enjoy the ride as you paddle under the Millrift Railroad Bridge, affectionately known as the #2 Railroad Bridge, which has a fascinating history with the Erie Railroad. Just a mile down the river, you’ll spot our landing on the right, and that’s where your unforgettable adventure wraps up!
